Senior Behavior Health and Mental Health Services is not a new field but it is a growing field. As more seniors begin to take their mental health seriously, Behavioral Health Services specifically for Seniors has become a necessity.

Whether you are seeking help with signs of depression or looking for the support of a group therapy, you can contact OSF Saint Clare Medical Center and get in touch with their team so they can get you started. We spoke with members of the Behavioral Health Services team at OSF Saint Clare Medical Center on today's Wake Up Tri-Counties.

For the second time, Esther Joy King is running for Congress in the 17th District in Illinois. King, who came up short in her bid to unseat Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, is now up against Democrat political newcomer and well known Quad Cities weatherman, Eric Sorenson. King was in Henry County on Friday, September 23rd for a meeting in Annawan and she was kind enough to stop by Regional Media for a conversation about the Congressional campaign in the 17th District.

The Kewanee City Council wants you to turn out for tonight's Kewanee City Council Meeting. Council member Steve Faber put out the call for Kewanee residents to come to the Meeting of the City Council tonight at 7 Pm to show that you want to know more about the fight against crime. Kewanee Police Chief Nick Welgat is set to lead a discussion of crime at the meeting while highlighting the latest crime stats which you can find in the Kewanee City Council packet. The more people who come to tonight's Council Meeting, the more it demonstrates the need for a citywide meeting regarding crime and get the attention of lawmakers in Springfield to start the ball rolling on perhaps more crimefighting resources.
